code-simplifier

Code simplification refactors structure while preserving functionality by reducing nesting, removing redundant abstractions, and clarifying names. The process identifies recently modified code, applies project standards, and verifies all original outputs and behaviors remain intact.

Replace nested ternaries with if/else chains or switch statements that handle each condition explicitly. For example, convert a chained ternary for status values into a function with early returns for loading, error, complete, and idle states.

Avoid over-simplification when it reduces clarity, creates overly clever one-liners, merges too many concerns into single functions, or removes helpful abstractions. Explicit readable code is preferred over fewer lines that are harder to debug or extend.

By default the refinement scope is limited to code recently modified in the current session. Reviewing a broader scope is possible only when explicitly instructed, which keeps changes focused and reviewable.

It follows project-defined standards such as ES modules with sorted imports, the function keyword over arrow functions, explicit return type annotations on top-level functions, React components with explicit Props types, and consistent naming conventions.
